TRANSGENDER LEGAL was created to
accelerate the legal freedom of transgenders!

Transgenders include, but are not
limited to, part-time crossdressers and full-time transsexuals. This
site is dedicated to assist them and any other person who expresses any
type of actual or perceived gender presentation which is at variance
with bipolar, socially assigned, gender presentations or gender
identifications.

TRANSGENDER LEGAL is the official
web site for Phyllis Randolph Frye, Esq., of Houston, Texas, USA. This
site includes most of the two-plus decades of her writings and other
items that she has produced in her quest for individual freedom and for
freedom of her people.

sworn in as
attorney, 1981

In October of 2000, Ms. Frye
presented a lecture at an annual symposium – "Sexual Orientation:
'Family' and the Political Landscape for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual,
Transgender People (LGBT)" – for the Albany Law Review. Her
lecture was later written, along with co-author Alyson Meiselman, and
published in the Albany Law Review (and is available herein). In the
printed symposium program, Ms. Frye was described thus:

"Phyllis Randolph is an
OUT transgender attorney from Houston. In her earlier life she was
an Eagle Boy Scout, her high school's ROTC commander, a member of
the Texas A&M University Corps of Cadets, a military officer, a
civil engineer and a father. Ms. Frye has been involved,
consistently on the front lines of the LGBT freedom movement, for 25
consecutive years. In 1980, she changed the Houston law against
crossdressing. She founded the Transgender Law Conference in 1991.
She was the pioneer in the national movement for transgender legal
and political action. In 1995, Ms. Frye received the "Creator
of Change" Award from the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force.
In 1999, she received the Virginia Prince Lifetime Contribution
Award from the International Foundation for Gender Education. During
this year, she and attorney Alyson Meiselman of Maryland, took the
Christie Lee Littleton case (http://christielee.net)
which declared that genitals were not dispositive in the legal
definition of sex so that a transgendered woman, vaginaed for over
twenty years, was declared to be legally male. (The Littleton case
was denied certiorari to the US Supreme Court a few weeks ago.) She
has also taught as an adjunct professor of law and wants to continue
that if allowed."
